Japan: game centers and retro cabinets
Japan is an arcade pilgrimage, and Tokyo's Akihabara is its temple. Multi-storey game centres stack fighting games, rhythm machines, shooters and crane games floor by floor, with well-kept retro cabinets that draw a devoted crowd. Specialist retro shops sell old consoles and rare games while running arcade floors of their own. Pachinko parlours add their neon roar to the streetscape. Hours run late, and a single coin buys most plays.
Game centers, pachinko, arcade cabinets: Japan is a gaming paradise, from Akihabara to retro shops like Super Potato.
